KDE PIM

Welcome to the home of the KDE PIM team. These pages act as a central point of information and collaboration for the developers and all other contributors or interested observers of KDE PIM. Here you will find information about KDE PIM, about the people behind KDE PIM, and how you can become part of the KDE PIM community. If you are looking for information about the usage of the KDE PIM applications then please have a look at userbase.kde.org.

KDE PIM is part of KDE. Its goal is to provide a suite of applications to manage personal information. This includes mail, calendar, contacts and more. The main result is Kontact, our personal information manager.

Kontact offers a thin graphical shell over the KDE PIM backend, the culmination of over 10 years of work to integrate the separate KDE PIM applications. The goal of this work was to ease development of new sources of data (like a google calendar or facebook contact importer) and to increase reliability and performance of KDE PIM. It will also make it far easier to find new ways to combine and view your personal information in new ways.
